That shaft moves in and out. If it’s seized, buy a new one. It should move freely.

Or do what I think it was Grayson (?) did and strap it to two trucks to pull it apart. I watch a YouTube that did it and can’t remember who was the one. Those are decently cheap though….

It’s a collapsible shaft, if it doesn’t move get a new one like Rttoys mentioned. I soaked mine in WD-40 and beat the **** out of it and finally got it to move just to seize again the next day.
